SEC10 — Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4

Summary

FOC4_G10002996 (FoSEC10) on Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4 chromosome KB726987 encodes a Sec10-like protein, a component of the exocyst complex. The gene is associated with exocytosis, Golgi-to-plasma membrane transport, protein secretion, and intracellular protein transport. Its product localises to the exocyst, cell tip, cell division site, cytosol, and nucleus. FoSEC10 is linked to numerous phenotypes including abnormal sporulation efficiency, decreased intracellular transport, delayed protein transport, increased mating efficiency, abnormal filamentous growth, increased necrotic cell death, decreased endocytosis rate, and increased cell cycle progression in M phase. It is also linked to desiccation resistance absence, abnormal vesicle distribution, and abnormal Golgi distribution. The gene is differentially expressed in FoTR4 strains under various conditions, including at 35°C and in isolates NK51, BX51, NK27, and BX27.
